Stop And Smell The Toy !
Today I realized why I started collecting action figures ,again, as an adult In the first place. I forgot how therapeutic It Is to simply pick up and pose an action figure. It hit me today while I was taking a closer look at my Ultimate Snake Eyes figure. I know lots of people talk about how blogging can be so therapeutic and good for the soul. I don't disagree. But I collected before I blogged. Baseball cards, comics and action figures have been curing my ills way before I began posting about it. Even now , when I'm feeling down , I'll instinctively walk over to my display shelves to pose random action figures. It takes my mind off of whatever It is that may be ailing me. The moral of the story here is - Just because your not posting about your collection as much, never take your collection for granted -Try to remember why you began collecting In the first place and enjoy the moment without having to stop, snap a pic and write about it.
